“Probable U. S. presidential candidate, Barack Hussein Obama was born in Honolulu , Hawaii , to Barack Hussein Obama, Sr., a black MUSLIM from Nyangoma-Kogel , Kenya and Ann Dunham, a white ATHIEST from Wichita , Kansas….”so this phony email goes. Additional ridiculous claims and connections are attempted to discredit Senator Obama.
It is disappointing that several of my Mormon Republican friends and extended family members have stooped so low to perpetuate this email smear job. These same people feel umbrage over the treatment of their boy Mitt and his religion by evangelical activists yet have no hesitation to perpetuate the slander and lies of these certain hate mongers. Mormons, especially of all people, should be sensitive to race and ethnicity given the challenges of their own history.
Snopes.com has a well documented treatment of this email smear job for anyone wishing to dig a little deeper to uncover the truth of the matter regarding Senator Obama and his supposed Black Radical Muslim roots.It is regrettable some of us have learned so little from our own past and the present treatment by the radical religious right.
